We have reported that glycosidically bound volatiles (GBVs), known as a plant fragrance precursor, were metabolized by skin microflora to release their aglycones as fragrant materials through in vitro examination. To confirm the practicality of GBVs for the application of fragrant products, headspace measurements have been made to assess the generation of fragrant materials from the skin or head, on which a solution of several GBVs was applied. GBVs, particularly β‐ D ‐glucoside, gradually changed to fragrant materials even on the skin and head, and seemed to possess an alternative sustained‐release effect to that of ordinary fragrant materials.
